Prashant Karandikar | | Hiya Foodies,
I have a query. I am based in Pune, however, I have to arrange a food tasting event in Mumbai for a friend of mine who is a celeb Chef from NY. The most obvious places that I can arrange with a good demo kitchen seem to be 'Dadar Catering College' OR Food Bazaar, etc outlets.
Would like to hear feedback from you guys. Please do let me know.
regards,

SOEB FATEHI | | good places to go are
ITC Maratha
Grand Hyatt
and Street Side food at Bhendi Bazaar and Bhuleshwar
Food Bazaar is so ordinary . . .

Prashant Karandikar | | I am sorry, I did not clarify exactly the requirement.
a) A Place where he can cook, for which the Dadar Catering college has a Demo Kitchen & can be rented out.
b) Now, these couple of preparations need to be tasted by a target audience, which is as follows;
i) age 20 to 40
ii) who shop @ Food Bazaar, Hypermarket, Spencers, etc.
iii) Preferably is the primary cook in the household.
Plan is to have some people to taste @ Demo Kitchen & others can taste it @ these outlets.
Therefore, I am wondering as to whom, shall i get in touch with ... some Women's association? or a foodie group? or do you have any other group in mind?
Would like to hear your suggestions. Thank You.Private Reply to Prashant Karandikar |

Prashant Karandikar | | Hi Girish,
Thank You for your inputs. I visited the Maharashtra Chamber's website & saw that they have a Women Entrepreneurs Wing. I guess, that is why you asked me to speak to them?

Prashant Karandikar | | Hiya All,
Update is, I have been able to arrange for the Demo Kitchen @ the Dadar catering college, however, yet to get a tasting audience for it. Any ideas, anyone?
Thx.Private Reply to Prashant Karandikar |

When is it?Private Reply to Chandrashekhar |

Prashant Karandikar | | Hi Chandrashekhar!
Your reply gives me hope. The target audience is as follows;
i) age 20 to 40
ii) who shop @ Food Bazaar, Hypermarket, Spencers, etc.
iii) Preferably is the primary cook in the household. [typically in majority of Indian households, these would be womenfolk]
This will be in the last week of November. The potential problem which I foresee is people express their intent, but drop out [due to genuine problems too], so how can I estimate a confirmed number of people?
Your thoughts & inputs would be appreciated.
regards,

Prashant Karandikar | | Nopes, no entry fees, we just want to hear their opinion on the taste, maybe a feedback form would be ideal. Private Reply to Prashant Karandikar |

Suman Tripathy | | Well, just back from the Dadar event. Met Chef Hari Nayak. Prashant and Chandrashekhar were also there.
It was a great and a unique experience. Chef Hari Nayak uses different food products to replace some ingredients to give a different taste to the products as well as to reduce the oil consumption. Also a lot of different ingredients are added to the basic Indian way of cooking to give it a twist and a new taste.
For food tasting, there was a mix veg and a chicken preparation, which had apple puree as a base for the gravy instead of onions. It gave it a subtle tangy taste and was good. This was followed by a regular Indian lunch and a dessert. Also had a chance to go through his well illustrated cook book. Private Reply to Suman Tripathy |
